The purpose of the
Journal of Vibration and Acoustics is to serve as a vehicle for the
communication of original research results of permanent interest in the area of
application of physical principles of acoustics to the solution of noise control
problems, and the uses of acoustics in industrial and medical application.
Papers published by the journal are full length articles of considerate depth.
The journal also presents Tech Briefs, which are intended to serve as a means
for the rapid communication of recent developments in an abridged form. Specific
topic areas covered include: vibration suppression;non-linear vibration; modal
analysis; structural dynamics and control; mechanical signatures; rotor
dynamics; vibration control; passive and active damping; random vibration;
acousic emission; active noise control; machinery noise; flow induced noise and
vibration; and machinery dynamics.
